I think that it would be useful to organize a page or a group of pages
(if it doesn't exist) where we should collect common Wikimedian and
near-to-Wikimedian resources.
At a couple of different places I realized that we have:
* Toolserver (OK, it is known as known fact is that we have WMF
servers, as well as the Office has something), operated by WM DE.
* Polish Toolserver, operated by WM PL.
* WM CH has ability to host mailing lists (I don't know much more;
possibly, they have a server, too).
* Betawiki is not hosted at WMF servers.
* There are some bot servers, operated by volunteers.
* It is possible that some other volunteers or groups would offer
their resources for Wikimedia-related things.
Offices and other kinds of space
* WM DE has the office (WMF has the office, too)
* WM RS is generally able to get a variety of conference rooms,
festival places, even some bigger places *for free*. At the smaller
scale (for up to around 1000 participants), it is able to organize a
place even just one month in advance.
* (Other chapters?)
Other resources
* I heard that Finnish Wikiversity is organized in cooperation with
(some of) their university. So, it means that someone who needs
something (of course, not anything) from one university may ask people
from fi.wv): some data, some bibliography...
* WM RS will have access to archive of all press archive from 2001 up
to present.
* (I am sure that we have a lot of similar deals.)
This is a very divergent list of our common resources... I think that
it would be useful to gather all of them at one or a couple of Meta
pages.
